Optimize the dewatering and cleaning of your paper machine with the RunDry solution from Runtech Systems
News Guide Content Texts for companies in the paper industry
The most effective and cost-efficient method for water removal in the press section of a paper machine is nip dewatering. Runtech's tailored RunDry solution significantly improves dewatering, doctoring, and cleanliness, resulting in improved dryness after the press section. RunDry is a complete solution that typically pays for itself within a year.

Overview of the RunDry System
The RunDry system includes the following components:
• Save-alls
• Doctoring equipment including blade holders, carbon fiber doctor beams, double doctors, and AirBlades
• Cleaning systems for the former and dryer sections
• EcoFlow dewatering measurement system
Impressive results can be achieved with minimal investment through optimized dewatering and doctoring, as well as the use of save-alls. This is a crucial step in increasing the efficiency of the paper machine.

Benefits of the RunDry System
• Increase in dryness after the press section by 1-3%
• Reduction of steam consumption in the dryer section by 4-10% and/or significant production increase
• Ensures efficient water drainage and perfectly prevents rewetting
• Investment payback period of less than one year
Improving sheet dryness and cleanliness from the wire section to the dryer section leads to measurable cost savings. This includes significant improvements in paper machine efficiency and reduced energy consumption in the dryer section.
Enhanced dewatering and cleaning technologies can substantially reduce numerous production issues such as insufficient moisture profiles, contamination, corrosion, cleaning time, and poor fabric permeability. This leads to fewer breaks and potentially lower wet draws, making the work environment safer and healthier.
Why are dewatering and doctoring so important?
Dewatering and doctoring not only affect energy consumption but also play a major role in the runnability, efficiency, and profitability of paper machines, as well as paper properties. A higher dry content after the press increases the wet strength of the web and makes it more resistant to the unpredictable conditions in the dryer section.
This improvement is closely related to the running properties of the dryer section, where higher tensile strength leads to fewer web breaks and better quality of the final product.
